2018 Ferrari 488 Spider 3.9L Petrol · LG18 FFW

The Ferrari 488 Spider presents a clean roadworthiness record as of its most recent MOT on 20 November 2025, when it passed with zero defects at 13,662 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable and improving. A single failure on 15 January 2025 at 12,980 miles flagged minor consumable and electrical issues, all of which were rectified before the retest the following day. No recurring defects, corrosion advisories, or structural concerns appear across the five-test history, which is a strong indicator of consistent upkeep. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation averages roughly 1,708 miles, with the most significant jump occurring between 19 January 2023 at 6,882 miles and 22 January 2024 at 11,176 miles, a gain of 4,294 miles in twelve months. After that period, usage settled to approximately 677 miles over the following twelve months, then plateaued entirely, with the recorded mileage remaining static at 13,662 miles from the January 2025 failure through the November 2025 pass. That plateau raises the possibility of a prolonged period of non-use or a recent odometer anomaly, and a buyer should verify the current displayed mileage against service records and physical wear indicators. Despite the low recorded mileage, a prospective buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. The January 2025 failure for a tyre pressure monitoring system malfunction warrants a diagnostic scan to confirm the system is fully operational and that no sensor faults persist. Brake discs and pads should be examined for surface corrosion or uneven wear consistent with extended standing periods. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers merit close inspection, as infrequent use can lead to seal deterioration and fluid leaks in hydraulic components. Given the vehicle's performance capability and the static mileage reading, a full mechanical inspection by a marque specialist is advisable before purchase.
